Weekend Retreat

Mindful Tech Career


8-9 June 2024 | Outside Oslo

A place to hit pause, think over your career, and find ways to make it more fulfilling and aligned with what you truly want.

Think of this weekend as a mini-vacation for your career.

A comfortable space and dedicated time to:

  • Deep dive into your professional journey

  • Expand your perspectives on career strategies

  • Learn self-coaching techniques for work-related questions

  • Create an outlook for the future to fill your work life with more clarity, growth, and joy

A Mix of Learning and Personal Growth Exercises

This weekend is mix of two main activities:

Learn: I'll share insights, tactics, and fresh viewpoints, followed by activities designed to encourage deeper reflections and introspection.

Reflect: You'll spend some quality time with your thoughts. It's all about taking that space for yourself, to really tune into what your heart and mind are saying about your work life.


    Our Journey Together

    This is a 4-step guided process for self-discovery, designed to help you understand your professional preferences.

    We'll dive deep into what truly excites you, uncover the skills you love using, and figure out what you're looking for in your professional life.

    1. Review the Now

    We’ll start with an honest look at your current work life. It's about appreciating your current position, understanding what makes you tick at work, and pinpointing areas for growth and improvement.

    By dedicating time and space, you'll be able to more effectively listen to your own thoughts and feelings about work.

    2. Decode Your Professional Preferanses

    Next, we'll look at your past experiences and motivations to understand what lights you up professionally and personally.

    We'll tune into your passions, the values that drive you, your personal meanings, preferences, and even dreams you may have set aside. Get all of these listed and prioritized, and you'll have a solid base for any future career decision.

    By understanding what triggers your joy, you can integrate it to your work and career for better days at the office.

    3. Developing Your Personal Compass

    Then it's time to figure out what's really right for you and your future.

    Imagine having a personal compass that always points you in the right direction - that's what we're about to create together.

    We'll explore various perspectives to sharpen clarity and play with possibilities. We'll look from different angles to generate your personal insights.

    Once you're clear on what you really want, navigating your career path becomes more intuitive.

    4. Anchor Your Insights

    We circle back to the present, but with new perspectives. We’ve pieced together a clear picture of what brings you joy in your career and how to make the most of it.

    Armed with this clarity, you can now:

    • Actively shape your role to bring out the best in you.
    • Set meaningful goals for your career and personal development.
    • Navigate your career path with confidence, making choices that are right for you.

    Or, you might just feel more at peace, knowing you're in tune with your professional self and where you're headed.


      What You'll Gain

      ✔ Clarity on your professional identity.

      ✔ Deeper understanding of how you want to further grow your career.

      ✔ A refreshed and energized perspective on your professional life.

        I'm aiming for a cozy small group with up to 10 participants.

        Absolutely! While the retreat is specifically designed with tech professionals in mind, the insights, activities, and reflections we'll explore are universal. Anyone keen on taking a deep dive into their professional journey will find value and welcome in our sessions. So, yes, we'd love to have you join us!

        Yes. After the retreat, each participant is entitled to an hour one-on-one online session with me. You can use this session for follow-up questions, a coaching session or mentoring.

        You can cancel your spot for a full refund up until May 6th. Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds after that date due to commitments with the hotel.

        If there's anything else you're wondering about or if you'd just like to chat before deciding, don't hesitate to reach out. You can contact me directly through LinkedIn or send an email to info@irinabrun.no. I'm here to help and look forward to hearing from you!

        Don't miss out on this opportunity to step back from the daily grind, recharge your batteries, and gain fresh perspectives!
